- Huh?

Intel has been hesitant to embrace the integrated memory controller since the failure of its last attempt to use such a design. Integrating the memory controller allows that vital gateway between the CPU and the memory to run at the speed of the processor, whisking data into the processor at a high rate of speed. But it also forces the processor to be designed specifically for a certain type of memory, which doomed Intel's Timna processor when its integrated memory controller was designed for Rambus' short-lived RDRAM standard.
Ok.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but exactly what makes DDR "special"? Seems to me, DDR is pretty much normal, stock stuff. So, I guess this means that the AMD folks are able to figure out how to use stock, off the shelf components whereas Intel has to go through the contortions of using RamBus memory. - Posted by: Wolfie2K3 Posted on: 02/21/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
